Balabayeva,Xeniya vs. Machlik,Monika - FIDE Women World Blitz 2024 1-0
In the FIDE Women World Blitz 2024 on 12.30.2024, between Balabayeva,Xeniya (white) and Machlik,Monika (black), Black's move Kd6 was made. This move involves sacrificing material by moving a knight to the square d6. It also prevents the development of a bishop, as it blocks access to better mobility on that square. By playing Kd6, Black misses an opportunity to threaten White's position with a potential attack on a piece. Furthermore, this move allows White's opponent (in this case, Black) to potentially kick a knight in a future turn. The move also fails to utilize the active play aspect of developing a piece for attacking purposes.
